Make sure to give the installer ample time. There's a minor bug in InstallShield (scripting) that causes the installer to take more time than expected if .NET Framework 1.0 isn't installed on the target machine. Even so, I've never seen an install take more than about 1 minute.

Also, the .NET Installer could try to access the internet. If your firewall asks you if it's "okay", you can say either yes or no, but you need to acknowledge that dialog for the installation to continue.

Is there a way to get WLD to run in usermode(without using runas), as it tries to re-register. I've set the data dirs to allow user r/w but no diff,(often does the trick in cases like this). I searched the registry to look for a way to copy any entries from the admin a/c to the user a/c but couldn't find any.

Clearly copying that directory is an extraordinary measure that shouldn't be necessary. I'd like to know more about the environment and the trouble you had. Please give more details, starting with your O.S.

XpPro...But...If it's unique to my machine it's more than likely a host protection program that probably blocked a function on install or something...I'd probably have to reinstall it to find out what happened.So I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, I probably just had to make sure I had the permissions right, I have similar issues with some other programs. Giving the user group read/write permissions to the dir, will often do the trick. But I usually like to minimise user permissions & only allow to the data dir & any config or log files. I get caught out if a new file is created, so the folder needs read/write permissions. I'm not sure if that was the case in this instance. Maybe I'll try a reinstall sometime. I only go down this track to minimise potentual malware issues. Bit of a pain & but maybe worth it one day.
